Plans to fabricate Atari volcano buttons?

This place has them, but they are $10.

BTW, did you try putting the cone all the way on the knockoff? Notice how the knockoff was a different thread. That really annoys me and leads me to believe the cone is original but the switch is replaced before I got it.

Wow! How have I never seen these before? Looks like he's out of stock right now though, I will try emailing him to see if they're NOS or recently manufactured copies.
I don't think $10 is too bad for them either. Now if someone was still making those aluminum cones; why did I give SirP back his buttons so soon, dammit! (kidding)

I noticed that alright. Strange that a company would go to the trouble of making knockoff copies of the switch and not pay attention to the thread size.

Charlie at gamecab found some replacement switches with the correct thread. I bought three of them. I'll look tomorrow to see if I can get you a supplier and part number.

Was it this one?

That one doesn't include a lens though.
